What a colossal embarrassment adding insult to death for the Jeffrey Schreier's family and friends. Correct spelling does matter!:grrrrrr:
The sombre 10th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks is behind us. But for one victim's family, the New York memorial to the victims of the World Trade Centre's destruction has left an unpleasant memory of its own--a misspelled first name, carved in stone.
Jeffrey Schreier was killed on 9/11 while working at Cantor Fitzgerald, the financial firm based in the World Trade Centre that was nearly wiped out in the attacks.
But on the memorial unveiled this weekend, Schreier's first name was misspelled as "Jeffery," a spokesman for the memorial, Michael Frazier, said.
"We are extremely sorry for the pain this mistake has caused Jeffrey's family," Frazier added in an e-mail to the New York Times.
"As soon as we found out about this error, we began working on how to make it right, and we're engaged with our fabricators, contractors and the architect to do so."
